Destry lays down ahead of me and I walk briskly towards her. Upon reaching her moments later, I halt next to her. My velvet mouth falls to her spine as I gently lip at her withers and back. I don't lay down with her for the mere fact that I am protecting her, hovering near her in case something decides to attack. There is one rule in my life that I will follow for eternity, past death, into the the afterlife. I will protect Destry until she no longer wants to be protected. "I've missed you." I speak softly, words kind and caring. She is a drug. I get high on love when she is here, but when she leaves I crash and crave for her.
In the recent, I've been quite absent, lingering in shadows and never coming out. This is the first time I've actually spoken to someone in a while, but I feel comfortable with her. She is my better half, without her I'm broken. She's the tape holding my fragments together. Everyone is a hammer, threatening to break me further. I've avoided Gaucho all together, he is not sensitive (wise?) enough to understand me. He's like a brick-head. To others he may seem smart, but he doesn't get me at all, and in fact, makes me feel worse (without trying to, perhaps?). In all honesty, I don't even like it here. It's not the same, and I wasn't really welcomed here by Africa with open arms, it was more like her shoving me away. I am not even sure who exactly let me in.
Success isn't the result of spontaneous combustion.
